We celebrated my aunt and uncle's 40th wedding anniversary yesterday night. It was a surprise party planned by their daughters. Really sweet. We were requested to wear their favorite color green so I chose this army green pants. I paired it with a sheer floral shirt I made a month ago. It's fairly easy to make since it's a loose top so there's no worries on the fit. I just used an exisiting loose shirt I own. Trace its outline over 2 pieces of cloth (plus 1 inch for seam allowance). Adjust the neckline and the armholes to be as deep as I liked. Cut the cloth. Stitch them together. Use bias binding for the neckline and armholes. Hem the shirt edge and ta-da, instant shirt. Although bias binding can be wee bit tricky. But still the whole thing is pretty straight forward. I want to make more!

And I just want to say: Happy Graduation Ach! Wish we were there celebrating with you!!

The Sisterhood

Hi, I'm Jill and currently an MBA student. Taking a break from work to go back to school means a lot of things. Fashion-wise, it means a year free of stifling suits! (Hurrah!) It also means living thrifty and making the most of my closet and undertaking the occasional DIYs.

I'm Haze, a 20 something who enjoys easy, comfy fashion and rich, sinful food. With a desk job by day, an internet bum by night, I'm in a hunt for something creative to do.

Two timezones? Two wardrobes?

Yep, that's right!

Jill lives in Germany, while Haze lives in the Philippines. We're sisters who like experimenting with clothes. After months of emailing each other our outfits and after years of following style blogs, we finally joined forces to create Summer Solstice.
